Pain hidden in silence
A painful story written in silence.
The ocean was so proud,
Of its mighty storms.
It had drowned countless lives,
Within its raging waves.
With a smile, I merely spoke its name,
And it relented with pity.
But when it saw the storm inside my heart,
Only you stayed silent.
While everyone else called out my name,
Even enemies came to save me,
But you drowned me—by giving me your name.
I had reached the shore,
Yet I longed to drown once again in the ocean of your memories.
To sip once more from the cup of pain you had poured for me.
And every soul you glanced at with a smile,
Met their end, whispering your name.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
